The front door opens into a wonderfully proportioned entrance hall, immediately setting the tone for the home.

The first floor is arranged around a galleried landing, enhancing the sense of space and light. There is a versatile study, which could equally serve as a fifth bedroom if required, along with a generous double bedroom benefiting from access to a stylish Jack & Jill bathroom. The principal suite is particularly impressive, offering a walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom, creating a calm and luxurious retreat.

On the second floor are two further substantial double bedrooms, both well-proportioned and flooded with natural light, served by an attractive family shower room. This upper level provides excellent flexibility for guests, older children, or multi-generational living.
